Where have you gone, Vox callers?

Whatever happened to all the Vox callers? The paper used to get several each day. Now the river is dry. Is it because there are so many other ways to get your point of view in the paper? Is it becasue opionions fornerly expressed through Vox are now being presented on the Web?

Don't get the wrong idea here. We love the interactivity that is taking place in connection with Bluffton Today. What we wanted to happen, is happening.

It's just that we miss some of the regular Vox callers who used to make us laugh or shake our fists in anger.

Some of the Voxs printed in the past were simply meanness and outright lies, blabbered to influence the community without benefit of admitting identification or truth. The Blogs make people THINK rather than have knee-jerk reactions. We can still be anonymous - but we can have real interaction with others, which is great and productive - and makes us all feel smarter. Grin.

I am so glad I take my son to school everyday, because I see the drivers of school buses driving and talking on their cell phones. What is really unnerving is that most of them are special needs buses. Can they not wait to talk on the phone until after their routes are finished and the kids are safe at home or school. I think they need to change the name of the company to students last instead of first student, becuase the students don't come first if they are too busy chatting. Thank you . TJ

I am sure that First Student and the BCSD has a policy that the operator of a school bus cannot use a phone while the bus is in motion. I am positive that the South Carolina Department of Education, who owns and regulates the buses, has that same policy - it may have even been elevated to the status of a state law.
Whether it involves your child or not, it is incumbent upon all people to report the unsafe operation of school buses. Next time you observe something like this please take down the bus number, make a note of the time and location, and report it to First Student and/or the school district.
